They say this place has the best French toast in the land. My mom saw the price for one piece and she was applauded. She ordered anyways and was in awe and loved it. The look on her face after the first bite was classic. . The cornmeal blue berry pancakes were great but would have been better...

Our favorite place to eat in Sacramento. Love the French toast or cornmeal pancakes for breakfast. Everything we've tried for breakfast or dinner has been delicious! Service is always friendly and the ambiance is fun and quirky. If you still have room after the meal checkout the bakery case, or ...

Hearing a lot of hate for this place. As always you gotta get the right dish. Go on the weekend and get the steak and eggs. That thai sauce or whatever on top is stupid good, I'm telling you it might be my favorite piece of meat in Sac. That good. Plus you get some eggs and potatoes (tell them to go...

Honestly you can't go wrong with this place! The french toast is to die for and everything else I've had from the pancakes to the burritos and the mimosas have been way above my expectations for a brunch spot. You will love Tower Cafe. Try the french toast =)

Tower Cafe really only has one draw back and that isn't any fault of it's own. If you try to go on a weekend or holiday it's going to have at least an hour wait. It's absolutely WORTH IT. The staff are incredibly kind and attentive what you need/want. If you are able to sit outside under all the bea...

We have been coming to Tower Cafe for over 30 years and always have a good experience. We like the consistency and the service. Can get busy so plan accordingly. Also watch out for transition from breakfast to lunch, the 11-11:30 time as you may not get the food that you want.

Brunch here is always amazing, and the French toast is out of this world. I highly recommend trying to sit in the garden, but if you have to sit inside all the art on the walls is entertaining to look at. I have been here countless times and can count on superb service and great food. Definitely a d...

I've been a Sacramento Native my entire life. I honestly don't see the point of coming here. I could make the menu at home a lot cheaper than their asking price. They said it was "international" it's just as international as Denny's...

A trip of a restaurant with cluttered indoor "stuff all over the walls" type of experience, mirrored in the "throw everything and the kitchen sink" at the menu, with all types of random experiences rooted in random nationalities. It's not often you can throw diverse types of food into one menu and ...

Wait was quite long. Awesome scenery and great vibe, but service could have been better since there was plenty of waiters/waitresses around. Cracked glass was leaking water, no silverware for the food. Just an unlucky day maybe?

Enjoyed a Friday lunch with a friend today. Fun atmosphere but not too noisy. Eclectic food options. I chose the pulled pork sandwich which balanced the sweet and savory well. A little messy but delicious. I look forward to my next visit.

We came here for the first time in a double date for brunch. The wait time was not that bad. With out reservation, we waited for about 10-15 min. We tried the eggs Benedict and it was amazing!! The iced coffee was not that great though. I could have made a better one at home!

We came with a larger group, and the service was good. The atmosphere is fun but loud. We enjoyed the variety, with safe bets like burgers for the less adventuresome. I enjoyed the spring rolls (they called them something else), and the pear salad on special. The french fry I tasted off another'...

Great food as always.. however, the prices of everything are getting higher and higher.. also they are now charging for every change, every add, and every substitution.. adding a dollar or two is not a big deal, but still, not very friendly thing to do to your customers.

Come here for the veggie burgers and decor. We came here for a pre marathon dinner with a large party. They had no problems seating is at massive table and everyone found something on the menu to like. Servings were ample for all the racers. Veggies burgers we're delicious but huge and didn't quite ...

Their Earth Burger was so delicious. Served with thick cut fries, they definitely provide excellent, hearty vegetarian options. I would definitely return to explore more items on the menu.

The interior decor was fun and quirky. I would also like to dine outside in their garden when it gets warmer

I eat at Tower a couple of times a month, at least. Hearty breakfasts and generous portions for lunch and dinner. Always flavorful. Their signature french toast is the best you will find. Only get the 1/2 order- It's a lot of food. The breakfast burrito is a monster too. Average prices.

A treasure! This place is has the greatest outdoor dining in Sacramento. It can be 106 degrees just beyond this oasis, but you will be sheltered and comfortable within their tiny urban forest. Outside heaters keep it cozy in cooler months. On rainy days, the arty and inviting indoor space is cha...

Love the ambiance and decor at this place. Their famous french toast stands up to the expectations. The red sauce that you get in Pomme Frittes is really unique. The earth burger and east african veggie burger are great choice for vegetarians. My recent fav that I discovered is chile rellenos. Has ...

Been here twice, once outside for lunch and once inside for brunch and it has always been a great experience. The staff are warm and servers have always been personable.

On a busy Saturday at Noon we were told we'd need to wait 30 minutes for a spot, and 20 minutes later we received a text that a...
